A student makes his way through puddles left by this week's rain storm.
Simmons' Shower Shivers
In an effort to better inform
CBC students of the workings
of the college the Banner is
pleased to print two charts
detailing the revenue and expenditures of CBC.
The "pie charts" are
relatively self explanatory with
a few exceptions. Auxiliary
Enterprises include the
cafeteria, bookstore, dorms,
apartments, etc. Endowments
are funds which are donated to
the school and invested. The
school's revenue originates
from the interest and
dividends which accumulate
from the investments.
Concerning the budget,
Robert Bryson, vice-president
of business affairs, noted that
while not yet being on "an
even keel" budgetary matters
are improving at CBC.
Bryson cites an increase in
students as a major reason for
the improvement. Although
enrollment was up by four
students last fall, this was still
eleven students less that the
business office had budgeted
for! The difference, however,
was picked up by miscellaneous funds.
Spring semester has started
on a brighter note as enrollment is up 60 students from
last spring and up even from
last fall.
Finally, Bryson noted that
his priority this year had been
to prevent CBC from ending
the current year in a deficit
situation.
Revenue
What's sending shivers up
the spines of Simmons Hall
residents? Cold showers,
that's what!
The showers in both dormitories are causing problems
for the students, maintenance
and administration. Along
with the hot water shortage,
two showers have now begun
to leak. Water is seeping into
rooms which are located next
to them and finding the cause
and isolating the source has
become a major priority.
"We feel this is our number
one concern," says Mr.
Robert Bryson, vice president
of business affairs.
Although the problem has
existed for years, no action
was taken until the leakage
became serious two months
ago.
Reason for the delay?
"Money," says Mr. Bryson.
As funds are available the
showers are being repaired and
the waterproof mop membranes in the shower bottoms
replaced. The cost is about
$375 for each one. A future
possibility, also dependent on
finances is lining showers with
fiberglass. This expense would
be about $1,000 per shower.
Cause for the leakage has
not been determined. Two factors may have been age of the
showers (about 15 yrs.) and
use of an acid based cleaner.
To be safe, drains will be
cleared mechanically from
now on.
As for the cold shower
situation, it may be necessary
to survey the students to see if
washing machines, as well as,
showers are on in the mornings. To totally eliminate the
problem there are two ideas;
one is to replace the water
heaters (3 in Simmons, 2 in
Smith) with larger ones costing
$1200 each, two is to add a
solar energy system.
Over the past two months
many showers have been shut
down for testing. This inconvenience, coupled with the
delay of lower priority repairs
is beginning to irritate some
students.
"The main problem is dealing with students who ask,
'How long is it going to
take?'," says Jamie Kennedy,
resident assistant.
How does maintenance
decide its priorities?
"What'H do the most peo-_
pie the most good is our
philosophy," explains Ernie
Roach, head of maintenance.

Private Applications Up
WASHINGTON, D.C.
(CPS)--Last fall private colleges shuddered in what they
feared was the first stage of a
long-expected decline in
enrollment, while public
schools managed a marginal
nationwide gain of 27,000
students.
But a just-completed study
of freshmen applications for
the fall, 1983 term suggests
just the opposite might happen
next year.
The number of freshmen
applications at private colleges
is up seven percent over this
time last year, according to the
Chronicle of Higher Education's annual survey of admissions trends, while applications to public schools have
dropped by eight percent.
If those application figures
hold, observers say, they
represent a dramatic and
unanticipated reprieve for
many of the nation's 1600 in
dependent colleges and
universities.
"We certainly weren't ex
pecting (the increase in applications), and at this point
aren't quite sure what to make
of it," confesses Bill
McNamara, spokesman for
the National Association of
Independent Colleges and
Universities (NAICU).
"We hope it's a good sign,"
he adds warily, "but early applications aren't really a
reliable barometer of what
could happen next
September."
"Out of all those students
who apply, there'll be a lot of
no-shows and a lot of cancellations, so it's very difficult to
say what will happen in the
end," he explains.
Public colleges, which expect their student populations
to hold level next year, are
similarly baffled by the early
applications dropoff of eight
percent.
